Telehealth corporate Eucalyptus is making headlines for prescribing off-label compounded semaglutide as part of an online weight loss program that costs up to $599 a month.

The RACGP has accused Eucalyptus of undermining holistic GP care.

And the TGA is threatening a ban on semaglutide compounding because of patient safety fears.

None of this has put off the investors — including Woolworths Group and the investment firm Blackbird, co-founded by billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes.
